Shorten support was removed because it's inferior and basically dead.   
For example, it does not support tagging, seeking, high sample rates,  
and so on.  You should probably convert your files to FLAC.

It was indeed the first lossless format, but the world has moved on...

SHN cons
     * Quite inefficient
     * No multichannel or high resolution audio support
     * No hybrid/lossy mode
     * No error robustness
     * Not streamable
     * No hardware support
     * No native tagging
     * Doesn't support Replay Gain
